Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the February 15, 2014Feast day of Mother of Compassion and Love

Our Lady: Dear children, my heart is so joyful to be with each one of you and to come together to give glory to God for these past twenty-five years.You have been so blessed, my little ones, and have received many graces as a family. You have been my messengers of compassion and love, and you have spread this compassion and love among many families, and for this I thank you.Little children, I continue to invite you to open your hearts, so that the Holy Spirit will fill your hearts with the importance of family prayer. I know, my little ones, that you are undergoing many trials within your family and that many are your struggles to remain in the spirit of prayer. I say to you: pray, my little ones, pray and do not allow my adversary to keep you from praying for the struggles in your family and for peace in the world, for prayer is the remedy to heal all hearts.

I invite you again, my little children, to pray your family Rosary every day, for the Rosary is a powerful weapon against my adversary. Never doubt this. Continue to pray for the Bride of my Son and for unconverted sinners. I invite you again to receive frequently the sacrament of Reconciliation and to attend daily Mass as frequently as you can. This will help you, little children, to be able to embrace the sufferings in your family and to pray against the evil in the world. Remember that prayer is your protection.

Today, little children, I, your Mother of Compassion and Love, say to each one of you: come to the arms of your heavenly Mother. Come, my children, come to me, and I will carry you in the bosom of my most Immaculate Heart. I will help you to pray when you are weak in prayer. I will bestow on you special graces when you are suffering and finding it difficult to live in the world, where many have lost their way. Run to the arms of your Mother of Compassion and Love. Waste no time, but run quickly.I wait for you with loving arms. Talk to me and trust in my powerful intercession. I love you, my children. Oh, how I love you! If you trust in my words and embrace them, I will draw you so close to the heart of my Son and to the love of St. Joseph.

"If you are very upset or depressed by something, think that you are then close to Mary whose life was so very difficult. God loved Mary in a special, exceptional way, but in her life there was so much suffering. Such is the way that God treats His friends."

"The Most Blessed Virgin Mary said, 'may it be done,' in response to the limitless love shown her at the Annunciation. And so it should be in your life, as well. When, in the course of your meditation, God reveals His love for you, be it through the words of the text or through the interior experience of certain truths, your most appropriate response should be the desire to totally submit yourself to Him." (In the Arms of Mary, pg. 53-54)

_"God reveals His will to her with an infinite love and Mary responds with total abandonment of herself, even if she is experiencing something that completely surpasses the capacity of human understanding."(In the Arms of Mary, pg. 123)

_"The Mother of God carries you throughout your life. She certainly will bring you safely to the goal, just as she brought St. Juan Diego to sanctity." (The Two Pillars, pg. 38)Prayer to St. Juan Diego

You who were chosen by Our Lady of Guadalupe as an instrument to show your people and the world that the way of Christianity is one of love, compassion, understanding, values, sacrifices, repentance of our sins, appreciation and respect for God’s creation, and most of all one of humility and obedience;

You whom we know is now in the Kingdom of the Lord and close to our Mother;

Be our angel and protect us, stay with us as we struggle in this modern life often not knowing where to set our priorities;

Help us to pray to our God to obtain the gifts of the Holy Spirit and use them for the good of humanity and the good of our Church, through the Heart of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the Heart of Jesus. Amen.

“We pronounce, declare and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma that the immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory.” (Pope Pius XII November 1, 1950)

Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence,let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change.Pope Francis

"God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have a mission; I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons; He has not created me for naught. I shall do good—I shall do his work. I shall be an angel of peace while not intending it if I do but keep his commandments. Therefore, I will trust him." Blessed John Cardinal Newmann

ObamaCare violates our religious liberty; Planned Parenthood takes our taxpayer dollars for its abortion business; and atheists are removing Christianity from America. Get your armour on for this satanic battle is here in our backyard.

Come, Holy Spirit, and renew the face of the earth through me. Fill me with Your life and Your grace, that my soul may be sanctified. Increase in me the gift of holy wisdom, that I may use wisely the gifts You have given me. Increase in me the gift of understanding, that I may hear and respond to Your call. Increase in me the gift of Your good counsel, that I may always follow God's will. Increase in me the gift of knowledge, that I may grow in holiness by knowing God and myself more fully. Increase in me the gift of love, that I may serve as Christ's hands and feet and voice sharing Your love with everyone I meet today. Come, Holy Spirit! Renew the face of the earth through me! Amen.

Consecrate Yourself to MaryUsing the Consecration Prayerof St. Louis-Marie de Montfort

I, (Name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.

In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose you this day for my Mother and Queen. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.

Our Lady of All NationsLord Jesus Christ, Son of the Father,Send now Your Spirit over the world;Let the Holy Spirit live in the Hearts of All Nations,That they may be preserved from degeneration, disaster, and war;May the Lady of All Nations, the Blessed Virgin Mary,Be our Advocate. AmenSeptember 20, 1951Bury me on my head for one day this world will be upside down." (Diogenes)

PRAYER FOR PRIESTSO Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep your priests within the shelter of your sacred heart, where none may touch them.Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch your sacred body.Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with your precious blood.Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of your priesthood.Let your holy love surround them, and shield them from the world’s contagion.Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here on earth, and in heaven, their everlasting crown.Mary, Mother of Priests, pray for priests and vocations to the priesthood.– St. Therese of LisieuxQuote to live by:"Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you, all things are passing, God is unchanging. Patience gains all; nothing is lacking to those who have God: God alone is sufficient."- St. Teresa of Avila "Anyone who wishes to frolic with the devil, cannot rejoice with Christ." -St. Peter ChrysologusPrayer for Priests

O my Jesus, I beg You on behalf of the whole Church:grant it love and the light of Your Spirit,and give power to the words of priestsso that hardened hearts might be brought to repentanceand return to You, O Lord.

Lord, give us holy priests;You Yourself maintain them in holiness.O divine an Great High Priest,may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhereand protect them from the devil's traps and snareswhich are continually being set for the souls for priests.May the power of Your mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naughtall that might tarnish the sanctity of priests,for You can do all things.AMEN.
